Riemannian Manifolds with Integrable Geodesic Flows

چکیده
In this paper we will survey some recent results on the Hamiltonian dynamics of the geodesic flow of a Riemannian manifold. More specifically, we are interested in those manifolds which admit a Riemannian metric for which the geodesic flow is integrable. In Section 2, we introduce the necessary topics from symplectic geometry and Hamiltonian dynamics (and, in particular, we defined the terms geodesic flow and integrable). In Section 3, we discuss several examples of manifolds which admit metrics whose geodesic flows are integrable, and in Section 4 we consider the topology of manifolds with integrable geodesic flows.

متن کاملOn the Integrability of Geodesic Flows of Submersion Metrics
Suppose we are given a compact Riemannian manifold (Q, g) with a completely integrable geodesic flow. Let G be a compact connected Lie group acting freely on Q by isometries. The natural question arises: will the geodesic flow on Q/G equipped with the submersion metric be integrable? Under one natural assumption, we prove that the answer is affirmative. New examples of manifolds with completely...
متن کاملNon-commutative Integrability, Moment Map and Geodesic Flows
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the relationship between commutative and non-commutative integrability of Hamiltonian systems and to construct new examples of integrable geodesic flows on Riemannian manifolds. In particular, we prove that the geodesic flow of the biinvariant metric on any bi-quotient of a compact Lie group is integrable in the non-commutative sense by means of polynomia...
متن کاملA Geometry Preserving Kernel over Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract- Kernel trick and projection to tangent spaces are two choices for linearizing the data points lying on Riemannian manifolds. These approaches are used to provide the prerequisites for applying standard machine learning methods on Riemannian manifolds. Classical kernels implicitly project data to high dimensional feature space without considering the intrinsic geometry of data points. ...
متن کاملGeodesic Conjugacy in Two - Step Nilmanifolds
Two Riemannian manifolds are said to have C-conjugate geodesic flows if there exist an C diffeomorphism between their unit tangent bundles which intertwines the geodesic flows. We obtain a number of rigidity results for the geodesic flows on compact 2-step Riemannian nilmanifolds: For generic 2-step nilmanifolds the geodesic flow is C rigid. For special classes of 2-step nilmanifolds, we show t...
